If this is *just* a race bike, then run Spyres, Avids, or what have you and change out the cables a few times over the season. Compressionless housing seems to really help.
If this is for more of a gravel grinder during the year that you race in the fall/winter, then 685s and the fully hydro brakes are indeed much nicer.
At least around the mid-atlantic, there's maybe a few races that you NEED discs for. The rest are usually pretty dry.*

*watch this winter be the exception now that I've said that.
